Senate Resolutions
Approved
Action was received last week on
three month-old Senate Resolutions,
all of which concerned women’s
rules. Deans Looney and Berry
Forwarded their reactions and
decisions to the Student Govern
ment President. Two of the
resolutions were approved.
Concerning the request for exten
sion of women’s closing hours the
Deans stated that “there does not
appear to be justification or
reasonable need for an extension of
closing hours. It seems that the pre
sent hours permit a reasonable
period of attendance at a normal
social function (at least five or six
hours on a weekend night).” Closing
hours for women will thus remain
unchanged.
Two resolutions to reform
definitions of women’s penalties
were approved by the Deans: “It
appears that there Is justification for
a standardization of this type of
penalty.’’ As a result, strict strict
campus for women will be
abolished, and the penalties of cam
pus and strict campus will be the
same for men and women students,
as appear on page 28 of the Elon
College Handbook.
It should be remembered as the
year comes to a close that ad
ministrative action such as this is not
to be taken lightly, as it is a sign of
awareness and concern for students
and may be an indication of actions
to come.

The Doobie Brotliers Appear Solo
valley. Mostly got work playin’ with whoever and whatever I could. Finally got
my own blues group and played mostly in an all black club in Tulare (but also
in Porterville, Lindsay, Kingsbourg, Fresno, etc. . .) The people dug it cause
we played good blues and I was doin’ fair at playin' B. B. King-style licks
which was my beginning as a lead player. This club circuit was a little funky
— a lot of stabbings, shootings, and kicking e^ss in general, sometimes
involving us. Also played in a Mexican wedding band which doubled as a
soul group. Played at a lot of weddings for good money and drank a lot.
I then moved to San Jose to further my schooling. Spent two years at San
Jose State-Art major. Meantime I took up playing acoustical folk music and
put my J-50 to use in a few clubs for extra bread, also keep my electric licks
together. Eventually gave up school and through Skip Spence of the Moby
Grape became involved with Little John and a bass player (Gregg Murph).
We played together and formed the Doobie Brothers.
This was first a hard rock group . . . later we added horns and did a
gospel-rock thing. Then Gregg split and Dave joined (Shogren). Later Pat
joined and we did the first album. Since then we’ve added Tiran Porter on
bass and Michael Hossack on drums. So that’s about it. . . can you dig it?”
JOHN HARTMAN - (Drums, congas)
Name: Littlejohn
Position: Drummer, Percussionist
Background: 13 years behind a drumset,
1 year of tutoring,
12 years of street jamming
“Lived on the East Coast in and out of many local bands. Hated the grind
of trying to be a star. Became crazy instead. Played double bass for five
years. One of the original Doobie Brothers. Keith Moon and Buddy Rich
freak. Am performer and entertainer.
Ideas: I like to attach my set in playing wid da group. Drums are important
since I am a drummer — not just as a rythmn but as an extension of humaii
instinct ... a human instinct of life and death and love and hate. It’s an
extension of my life, my body, my mind or my left leg — whichever comes
first. As the same way I love it, it loves, hates, cries and laughs back at me.”
PAT SIMMONS - (Vocals, guitar)
“I picked up the guitar at eight and I ain’t set it down since. My folks used
to shut me out in the garage and let me go to it; they thought I was a real
hillbilly or somethin’! But they figured it was okay for me to do my thing until I
started pluggin’ it into the wall. Well, needless to say, they flipped out and hid
my axe under the pretense that it was makin’ me grow my hair long and
smoke dope and stuff. I was really pissed and started gettin’ heavy but they
called the cops and had me put under lock and key as a menace to society.
When I got free from the home scene, I started playin’ everywhere that
anybody would allow me to. Bars, coffee houses, living rooms, bathrooms,
all over the joint. Sometimes with other people, but mostly by myself
because I had an idea of what I wanted to do in music but I couldn’t ever
seem to find the right people . . . then I met the Doobie Brothers . .. Ta-da!”
TIRAN PORTER - (Vocals, bass)
“I was born. It took sixteen years to discover that I was a walking note and
start doing something about it. Am now 24 years into life on this plane of
existence. Have played in many groups, but it is a notable fact that most of
these played original material of a high, but overlooked calibre. Made a
couple of albums for other labels, starved alot, got high alot, played halfway
around the world, lived in Los Angeles, moved to San Francisco, joined
Doobie Brothers, been on the'road, gone nuts, and gone home. Any more
questions? If not, please have the nurse roll me back to my room — I have to
write some songs.”
Examinations for the evening classes will be held on the regular
class meeting night during the examination week.
MICHAEL HOSSACK - (Drums, congas)
“There is nothing left for me to say.”
